First I'd like to thank everybody who responded to my resident
question. I didn't think about the memory thing.
Anyways, I have reciently started having weird problems. It
started when I was doing my resume. I typed an 'I' and I got a '/'.
Now, from time to time, the 'I', 'E', and more reciently the 'N' key
have been acting weird, giving me capitol 'N's or 'W's or weird binary
characters.
When I boot up I chech these characters to see if I can boot up
properly. It seems to start about two thirds through my startup-
sequence. Nothing weird is there.
There are two possibilities. I added ARP 1.3 just prior to this
problem. I use it's shell. Somehow I don't believe that this is the
culpret.
Second, and more likely, stems from an unfortunate accident. A friend
sortof spilled a screwdriver (of the Vodka-Orange Juice variety) onto my
keyboard. I disassembled my keyboard and cleaned it as well as possible.
I used tuner cleaner. The only persisting problem is my left C= key
sticks some times. (Left Amiga, for those with older keyboards).
The only non-standard memory resident program I use is DMouse 1.07,
but I have been using that for quite a long time. That couldn't be
doing it.
Does *ANYBODY* have any ideas? This problem is really starting to
piss me off.
Thank you.

I really HATE seeing that stupid C= symbol on an Amiga keyboard. It's ugly and doesn't belong there. It's the one thing I prefer about the A500 over the A2000...
